“Most men lead lives of quiet desperation and go to the grave with the song still in them,” is what I have often read and believed to be true.

You might know the lovely narcissus by other names such as daffodil or jonquil. You can count on them to come back year after year, giving you spring flowers from their bulbs. They are native to the meadows and woods in Europe, North Africa and West Asia with great numbers in the Mediterranean’s west side.
